Definitions
- the present invention relates to imaging apparatuses and imaging drums for use in an imaging apparatus that forms an image on printing plates or uses a printing plate to apply ink to a receiver media to form an image.
- the present invention relates to an imaging apparatus and imaging drum having automatic plate registration detection.
- Contact printing remains the most economical method for printing a large number of copies of an image.
- Contact printing presses utilize printing plates to apply ink to a receiver media to form an image on the media.
- the printing plates have a printing surface with a pattern of markings representing the image to be printed.
- the printing plate Prior to printing, the printing plate is fixed to a plate mounting surface.
- ink is applied to the printing surface and the printing surface is brought into contact with a receiver media such as paper. An ink pattern is thereby transferred to the receiver media forming an image on the receiver media.
- a printing plate that is properly aligned and positioned is known in the art as being “in registration.”
- each printing plate applies a differently colored ink to the receiver media.
- the image formed on the receiver media can contain different colors. It will be understood that each printing plate must be in registration when the color image is formed. If the printing plates are not in registration, the image will appear out of focus and the colors in the image will be incorrect.
- a printing plate imaging apparatus is used to form the image on the printing plate. It is necessary to properly register the printing plate during this process. If a printing plate is not in registration when an image is formed on the printing plate, then the printing plate will not generate proper images when it is used for printing.
- U.S. Pat. No. 5,992,325 shows a method and device for automatically detecting the location of at least one printing plate edge on a plate mounting surface.
- a plate cylinder for a printing press includes a linear array of clamps that hold a trailing or leading edge of the printing plate. Mechanical sensors in the clamps trigger electrical switches. The switches provide an electrical indication of whether the trailing or leading edge of printing plate is positioned within the clamps. When the edge of the plate is detected at each clamp in the array, the plate is considered to be in registration.
- U.S. Pat. Nos. 3,595,567 and 4,127,265 show similar structures for determining whether a sheet of receiver media is in registration with a drum. Each of these patents shows two linear arrays of clamps or grippers positioned on opposite sides of the drum. This allows two sheets of material to be held to the drum thus requiring two sets of sensors to detect the alignment of the sheets. U.S. Pat. No. 2,145,520 shows a mechanical structure to accomplish this result.
- U.S. Pat. No. 5,479,859 shows a method and apparatus for controlling an automated printing plate change process in a sheet-fed offset printing machine.
- a pair of clamps are used to hold a printing plate in registration.
- the clamps are arranged in a linear fashion on the drum and have register pins to grip printing plates against a gripping portion.
- the register pins are electrically insulated from the gripping portion and engage notches in the plate.
- bottom edges of the notches seat on and contact the register pins. This provides a conductive electrical path from the register pins to the gripping portion. By sensing whether such a conductive path is formed at each register pin, it becomes possible to determine whether the printing plate is in registration.
- the prior art relies upon the detection of the leading or trailing edge of the printing plate and determines whether the printing plate is in registration based upon the signals received from two or more sensors aligned along a single direction that is parallel with either the leading or trailing edge of the printing plate.
- Such systems can fail to detect lateral mis-position of the printing plate.
- Such systems are not easily adaptable to accommodate different sizes of printing plates. This is because smaller printing plates may not extend across the linear direction of the clamps so that each clamp contacts a portion of the leading or trailing edge of the plate. In such a circumstance, a drum of the prior art will erroneously indicate that a smaller printing plate is not in registration.
- an imaging apparatus for forming images on an electrically conductive printing plate.
- the imaging apparatus has a mounting surface having at least three electrically isolated conductors arranged so that when the electrically conductive printing plate is in registration on the mounting surface, the electrically conductive printing plate defines an electrical connection between all of the electrical conductors and, an electrical circuit adapted to sense an electrical connection between all of the conductors and to thereupon generate an output signal.
- a mounting surface for receiving electrically conductive printing plates has at least three electrically isolated conductors arranged so that when the electrically conductive printing plate is in registration on the mounting surface the electrically conductive printing plate defines an electrical connection between all of the electrical conductors and an electrical circuit adapted to sense an electrical connection between all of the conductors and to thereupon generate an output signal.

- FIG. 2 a shows a planar view of the outer surface 38 of imaging drum 28 of the present invention.
- imaging drum 28 has an imaging area 40 defined by axial boundaries 42 and 44 and lateral boundaries 46 and 48 .
- imaging drum 28 is rotated along direction 50 while imager 26 (not shown) writes images generally along writing direction 52 .
- Writing direction 52 is shown as being perpendicular to direction of rotation 50 , however, it is not necessary to write an image using a path that is perpendicular to the direction of rotation 50 .
- FIG. 2 b shows a planar view of a printing plate 36 of the type used in conjunction with the present invention.
- printing plate 36 has a leading axial edge 54 , a trailing axial edge 56 , a left lateral edge 58 , and a right lateral edge 60 .
- Printing plate 36 can be formed from an electrically conductive metallic substrate. However, printing plate 36 can also be formed from a plastic or other substrate having a conductive coating, exterior layer or wrapping.
- FIG. 3 a shows a planar view of an outer surface 38 of imaging drum 28 having a printing plate 36 in registration. As is shown in FIG. 3 a , printing plate 36 is in registration when leading edge 54 is aligned with first axial boundary 42 and right lateral edge 60 is aligned with right lateral boundary 48 .
- FIG. 3 b shows a planar view of an imaging drum 28 having a printing plate 36 mounted on imaging drum 28 so that leading edge 54 is not aligned with first axial boundary 42 .
- This is known as mis-registration.
- Another type of error known as mis-positioning can also occur.
- Mis-positioning can occur where printing plate 36 is not aligned with boundaries 42 and 48 as is shown in FIG. 3 c and FIG. 3 d .
- printing plate 36 is mis-positioned because leading axial edge 54 is not aligned with axial boundary 42 .
- FIG. 3 d printing plate 36 is mis-positioned because right edge 60 is not aligned with lateral boundary 48 .
- FIGS. 4 a and 4 b show, respectively, a schematic cross-section side view of imaging drum 28 of the present invention with printing plate 36 secured to outer surface 38 of imaging drum 28 .
- imaging drum 28 has an outer surface 38 that includes a first electrical conductor 62 , a second electrical conductor 64 , and a third electrical conductor 66 .
- First electrical conductor 62 and second electrical conductor 64 are positioned to form a first axial boundary 42 to engage leading longitudinal edge 54 .
- Third electrical conductor 66 is positioned apart from first axial boundary 42 and is positioned to engage right lateral edge 60 of printing plate 36 and thus to define a right lateral boundary 48 .
- FIG. 4 b shows that each of electrical conductors 62 (not shown), 64 , and 66 , protrudes radially outward from outer surface 38 to engage an edge of printing plate 36 .
- printing plate 36 is in contact with each of conductors 62 , 64 , and 66 , printing plate 36 is in registration on imaging drum 28 .
- the imaging drum 28 of the present invention is adapted to electronically detect when printing plate 36 is in contact with each of conductors 62 , 64 and 66 .
- electrical conductors 62 , 64 and 66 are surrounded by electrical insulating material 68 .
- Electrical insulating material 68 electrically isolates each of electrical conductors 62 , 64 , and 66 from outer surface 38 and from each other.
- printing plate 36 when the edges of printing plate 36 contacts all of the electrical conductors 62 , 64 , and 66 , printing plate 36 creates a short between electrical conductors 62 , 64 and 66 . However, if printing plate 36 fails to directly contact each of electrical conductors 62 , 64 and 66 , then no short is created. Thus, even a small electrical gap between printing plate 36 and conductors 62 , 64 and 66 will prevent the formation of the short. Accordingly, by using the imaging drum 28 of the illustrated embodiment of the present invention, it is possible to determine whether printing plate 36 is in registration simply by testing whether a short exists between each of the conductors 62 , 64 and 66 .
- the present invention thus uses printing plate 36 as an AND gate providing a selected electrical output—a short between the conductors 62 , 64 , and 66 —only when printing plate 36 is positioned in contact with each of conductors 62 , 64 and 66 .
- an electrical short detection circuit (not shown) is connected to each of the conductors 62 , 64 and 66 .

- FIG. 5 b shows the operation of the embodiment of FIG. 5 a wherein printing plate 36 is mounted on imaging drum 28 so that leading edge 54 is not aligned with first axial boundary 42 .
- signal detector 86 only detects the signal from conductor 64 and activates an output to indicate that printing plate 36 is not in registration.
- Signal detector 86 can optionally be adapted to identify the conductor from which a signal is not received and to cause output 88 to identify this conductor.
- FIG. 5 c shows the operation of the embodiment of FIG. 5 a , wherein printing plate 36 is mounted on imaging drum 28 so that right edge 58 is not aligned with right lateral boundary 48 . In this situation, no signals are received by conductor 66 and detector 86 generates a signal causing output 88 to indicate that printing plate 36 is not in registration.
- FIG. 5 d shows the operation of the embodiment of FIG. 5 a wherein printing plate 36 is mounted on imaging drum 28 so that leading axial edge 54 is not aligned with axial boundary 42 .
- detector 86 does not receive any signals from connectors 62 or 64 . Because of this, detector 86 generates a signal causing output 88 to indicate that printing plate 36 is not in registration.
- the present invention can be configured to work with electrical signals in many forms.
- signal generator 84 and signal detector 86 can be adapted to generate and detect, respectively, steady state signals, binary signals and/or phase, amplitude or frequency modulated signals.
- signal generator 84 is adapted to provide unique electrical signals at conductors 62 and 64 .

- signal generator 84 can generate a first voltage signal having a frequency of 20 Hz at conductor 62 and a second voltage signal having a frequency of 25 Hz at conductor 64 .
- signal detector 86 can be adapted to determine that printing plate 36 is in registration when both signals are detected, that printing plate 36 is not in contact with conductor 62 when only a 20 Hz signal is received and that printing plate 36 is not in contact with conductor 64 when only a 25 Hz signal is received.
- the present invention can easily accommodate printing plates 36 having various sizes while still ensuring that leading edge 54 and right lateral edge 60 are aligned and that printing plate 36 is in registration.

- electrical short detection circuit 82 is connected to each of conductors 62 , 64 and 66 and detects the existence of an electrical short between these conductors. Where an electrical short is detected between conductors 62 , 64 , and 66 , electrical short detection circuit 82 generates an output to indicate that printing plate 36 is in registration. Electrical short detection circuit 82 can also generate an output to indicate when printing plate 36 is not in registration on outer surface 38 .
- This output may be in the form of an electrical signal, an optical signal, audible signal or a radio frequency signal.
- the electrical signal, optical signal, audible signal, or radio frequency signal from imaging drum 28 can be received by controller 95 of imaging apparatus 20 and used to prevent or to interrupt imaging operations until printing plate 36 can be placed in registration on outer surface 38 .

- an electric signal is provided at each of conductors 62 and 64 .
- Conductor 66 is connected by way of a tuned coil 94 to a ground.
- the electric signal at conductors 62 and 64 flows to conductor 66 and from there through tuned coil 94 to ground. This causes a radio frequency signal to emit from the tuned coil.
- a radio frequency detector 96 positioned outside of imaging drum 28 detects the radio frequency signal and analyzes the signal to ensure that the radio frequency signal transmitted by tuned coil 94 is indicative of a signal that would be transmitted by a tuned coil 94 that receives signals from both conductors 62 and 64 .
- the radio frequency signal from tuned coil 94 can be received by controller 95 of imaging apparatus 20 and used to prevent or to interrupt imaging operations until printing plate 36 can be placed in registration on outer surface 38 .

- a donor material such as an ink or thermal media
- receiver media 104 is drawn onto printing plate 36 .
